Pipeline Design Practice in Oil & Gas

Novotel Hotel Bandung | April 12-16, 2010 | Rp. 8.250.000,-

OBJECTIVES

This course is designed to improve and provide a comprehensive understanding of piping & pipeline maintenance and technology. Pipeline technical calculation commonly practiced in oil & gas or industrial fluid production and transportation operation will also be discussed and learned. Therefore, after attending this 5-day course participants will have:

• Better understand and get improvement on the description, classification, requirement and specification of steel pipeline in oil and gas, petrochemical, etc.


• Improvement on ability to interpret and evaluate piping and pipeline performance data.


• Skill to identify and solve problems in oil and gas transportation system.


• Better knowledge of maintenance integrity properly in piping and pipeline
